I don't think the "linphone" example makes a lot of sense, as there
are zillions of other applications that may use libvpx, and some of
them are probably more popular than linphone. Maybe something like:

	  A high-quality, open video format that's freely available to
	  everyone. Supports the VP8 and VP9 formats.

We're fetching via Git, and the tarball is generated locally on your
machine. Since this process is not reproducible, we cannot guarantee
that the hash will always be the same. Therefore, we do not store hash
files for Git-sourced packages.

I've marked your patch as Rejected in patchwork for this reason.

Best regards,

Thomas
